normalizePath {utils}

R Documentation

Express File Paths in Canonical Form

Description

Convert file paths to canonical form for the platform, to display them in a user-understandable form.

Usage

normalizePath(path)

Arguments

path	character vector of file paths.

Details

Where the platform supports it this turns paths into absolute paths in their canonical form (no ./, ../ nor symbolic links).

If the path is not a real path the result is undefined. On Unix-alikes, this will likely be the corresponding input element. On Windows, it will likely result in an error being signalled.

Value

A character vector.

Examples

cat(normalizePath(c(R.home(), tempdir())), sep = "\n")
